First Quantum Minerals Ltd. has grown from a small mineral
operation in Zambia into a multinational mining business in less than two
decades, with a global portfolio of copper and nickel assets in Europe, Africa,
Australia and South America. This phenomenal growth is down to FQM people who
have strived to be Bolder, Smarter and Driven in everything they do.
In March 2013, First Quantum Minerals acquired Inmet Mining
Corporation, a Canadian-based mining company primarily producing copper and
zinc from mines in Finland, Spain and Turkey, with also a major copper deposit
under development in Panama, known as Cobre Panama. The combination of the
First Quantum and Inmet assets has created one of the world’s leading copper
producers with a geographically diversified portfolio of high-quality
operations and development projects in eight countries across five continents.
With a strategic plan to produce more than 1 million tonnes
per annum of copper within five years, the Company is poised to become the
largest, widely-held pure-play copper producer and one of the top five copper
producers in the world.
